Alton Towers - The Ropers

coastergraham · Alton Towers - The Ropers

According to Wikipedia the thorn in Alton Towers side that is the ropers have moved home.

But before we get too happy remember that wikipedia can have facts added that are incorrect.

We can only hope Cool

I heard that the Ropers moved a while back now.

I think the problem here is that I believe the Ropers were just the front of the campaign and there were others who sided with them.

We heard this rumour back at Loopathon, speaking to the owner of Peakstones (A highly recommended local B&B) she said they haven't moved. She asked a few other locals and they all said the same they hadn't moved. So whether this Wiki is based on old rumours or is new facts I don't know. But until something more concrete appears I would beleive it.

I also suspect the Ropers were just the front men for this campaign against the Towers and that someone else was in the drivers seat. This is based on several conversations with local residents who think someone else has it in for the Towers and took the opportunity to use the Ropers to make life awkward for AT. Maybe if the Ropers have gone, if there was someone else behind it they might come forward.

I want to buy the property that the Ropers were in, and for any other moaning neighbourfs to move out too and for other club members to move in. Then we can ask for free merlin passes to the parks in return for not ruining there ideas and planning applications.

I'm still not convinced they've moved because only 2 weeks ago a local resident said they were still there. But of course they might have to sell to pay for the legal action supposedly being taken against them for the noise for at their factory.
